MECE Leadership Bio

Henry Manani

I am the National Programme Co-ordinator of the National Centre for Early Childhood (NACECE) at the Kenya Institute of Education (KIE). I have been working for children for the last 20 years at NACECE. NACECE started as a pre-school research project in 1972 and later was established as a National Programme in 1984 by the Ministry of Education. NACECE is based at KIE and has a network of sub-centres in all districts, cities, and municipalities in the country. NACECE has developed into a regional centre catering to training needs of the Africa region. The mission of NACECE is to take the lead and network with other stakeholders to promote ECD programmes for Kenyan children in areas of cognitive, psychomotor, socio-emotional, aesthetic, moral, spiritual, and cultural development.
